The gram per cubic centimetre is a unit of density in the CGS system, and is commonly used in chemistry.It is defined by dividing the CGS unit of mass, the gram, by the CGS unit of volume, the cubic centimetre.
The standard liter per minute (SLM or SLPM) is a unit of (molar or) mass flow rate of a gas at standard conditions for temperature and pressure (STP), which is most commonly practiced in the United States, whereas European practice revolves around the normal litre per minute (NLPM). [1]
The litre (Commonwealth spelling) or liter (American spelling) (SI symbols L and l, [1] other symbol used: ℓ) is a metric unit of volume. It is equal to 1 cubic decimetre (dm 3 ), 1000 cubic centimetres (cm 3 ) or 0.001 cubic metres (m 3 ).
The main ways water vapor is added to the air are: wind convergence into areas of upward motion, [12] precipitation or virga falling from above, [24] daytime heating evaporating water from the surface of oceans, water bodies or wet land, [25] transpiration from plants, [26] cool or dry air moving over warmer water, [27] and lifting air over ...
Molar concentration or molarity is most commonly expressed in units of moles of solute per litre of solution. [1] For use in broader applications, it is defined as amount of substance of solute per unit volume of solution, or per unit volume available to the species, represented by lowercase : [2]
A typical adult has a blood volume of approximately 5 liters, with females and males having approximately the same blood percentage by weight (approx 7 to 8%) [1] [2] Blood volume is regulated by the kidneys.
The second longest dam in the Delta Works, [1] after the 10.5-kilometre-long Oesterdam, [2] [3] [4] the nine-kilometre-long Oosterscheldekering (kering meaning barrier) was initially designed, and partly built, as a closed dam, but after public protests, [5] huge sluice-gate-type doors were installed in the remaining four kilometres.
Ringer's lactate solution is commonly used for fluid resuscitation after blood loss due to trauma, or surgery. [9] [10]It is extensively used in aggressive volume resuscitation, e.g. for patients with pancreatitis, hemorrhagic shock or major burn injuries. [10]
